Courage, Honor, and Conduct

I wish, here and now, to address a few remarks in the direction of all those who care to read them, and in particular to one reader. You know who you are.
I do not appreciate being called a coward, even in private, by anyone. Most particularly, I do not appreciate being insulted by one who cannot back up his mouth. I have, to begin with, shown you that not only am I not a coward but I am a better man than you are. If you wish it proved again, on your body, feel free to meet with me at anytime, officially or unofficially. Under the circumstances, ...evil grin... unofficially might be more fun.
After all, an official match is never fatal.
I saw how quickly you ran out of the arena after losing to me, ZemhulEm. I was very impressed by the courage of the man who called everyone else in the room a coward only moments before fleeing. I would very much appreciate another chance to knock you around.

If any come in contact with the one known as ZemhulEm ye must detain him and get ahold of me so I can undo what once was done.

Zam, I like you. I consider you a friend. However, if I run into him I am not going to "detain" him, I am going to cut him open, kick him over backwards, and watch to see what falls out.

::Reads the posts, then writes::

This guy you are talking about sounds a lot like me..cept I don't flee. I hope I run into him, because it's good to have more company. There is a great shortage of loudmouths in Rhydin, because people like you try to get rid of them. Even though I do a great job loudmouthing, if I do say so myself, it's not enough to start something big. Sure people like Adonai try to shut me up, and get beat by me in the process, but I never once stop or back
down. So whoever you are, send me a message or something.

You know, Ace, I don't think it's the decibel level of your rants that people complain about, but rather the content.

Being opinionated is one thing, being deliberately rude is another.

I have no problem with opinionated people. In fact, I like a little controversy from time to time. And I was just starting to see your side of the story when you decided to turn around and insult someone for no reason.

Trust me, it's better to just admit you said the wrong thing then to go lash out at anyone who cares to point it out to you.

I can't wait to see what you have to say about ME, now that I've posted this.

Ace~

Want to know why there's a shortage of loudmouths in RhyDin? Because such childishness is not tollerated. Take that however you like, boy.

Ace, I don't object to anyone being "opinionated." I don't even object to anyone being a "loudmouth." I haven't had any problems with you, and as long as you don't do anything to insult or harm me, I won't.
What I DO have a problem with is being insulted by a sniveler who, after having his words handed back to him at sword point, does not have the brains to recognize his error. Still, as my post said, I will be glad to whip him again if he still feels that he was right the first time.
And Ace, here I am, like you asked, sending you a message. Now, what is it you'd like to say?

I do not blame ye for your hostility for my twin or any for that matter. Yes even I have a desire to end ZemhulEm for causing so much pain.

::Sees the words of his brother and others and smiles then posts a reply to see what he catches::
I reply to each in turn. I see your cowardice has no bounds white duke. Ye have ta brag your victory in a little scrawling on the wall. I shall not see defeat to your blade again.

Ace ..... call me a loudmouth again and I shall cut yer swolen tongue from your putrid mouth.

And to my dear brother.... If I ever catch you I will teach you the true meaning of pain.

Zemhul, let me put it simply then, as a challenge. Meet me in the ring, any time, any place, YOU can even choose the caller yourself. Or feel free to make it official again. Either way. I will be happy to make you eat your words. Again.
Or, if you like, you can apologize. The we can all be friends. Still, since I don't think you have the courage for that, I will settle for the duel.

Zem,

First off, I came to yer defense. Because you are a little guppy in a pond of big fish. Second, I did not mean loudmouth as an insult. I rather meant it as a person who voices his thoughts. And thirdly, listen carefully...
if you ever threaten me again, I will cut out the most prized part of your body, and shove it down yer throat. I am not like the others who ignore or take an apology. I'll give a warning one time, then after that you can forget about being a man....

Ace,

You do realize that your body displaces oxygen that would be better spent on important people. Like that homeless guy that sleeps in the alley behind the Inn.

The commoner pauses at the ancient corkboard, idly amused when she comes across unsigned insults, it speaks volumns on the level of intelligence and intestinal fortitude of the perpetrator. The words 'sniveling coward' come distinctly to mind as she continues on her way.
